  • Story Text: German Andrea Rohloff, serving a prison term for
    heroin smuggling, has graduated from a prison handicraft
    course.

    Andrea Rohloff, 18, sentenced to 6 years and 3 months
    in prison after being caught with 6 kilograms of heroin in her
    bag, was awarded her graduation certificate on Tuesday (June
    18) after completing a ceramics course in prison.

    Rohloff was sentenced in May this year by a State Security
    Court in the western coastal city of Izmir and is serving her
    time at the town's Buca prison.

    Rohloff said she plans to send her first creations to her
    family in Germany.

    Rohloff is likely to serve only 2 years and 3 months of her
    sentence under Turkish law.
